The Prof Bart Nnaji Book, By Uzor Maxim Uzoatu
The Prof Bart Nnaji Book Uzor Maxim Uzoatu The capacious International Conference Centre, Enugu was filled to the brim on Friday, July 17 when the Prof Bart Nnaji Birthday Symposium, “Powering Tomorrow: 70 Years of Engineering the Common Good”, took pride of place. It was awe-inspiring beholding the gathered creme de la creme of Nigeria calling the shots with remarkable aplomb. The Presidential Fireside Chat of former President Olusegun Obasanjo moderated by the chairman of the editorial board of ThisDay newspaper, Olusegun Adeniyi, was a hit.

Governor Alex Otti of Abia State in whose domain Prof Nnaji’s Geometric Power Group is situated was as ever his resourceful self. The man who’s the issue in Nigeria today, Mr Peter Obi, stood strong amid the consummate attention.

The event also marked the unveiling of the book, Bart Nnaji - The Challenge of Facing the Future, which I wrote. To borrow the words of the legendary poet, Christopher Okigbo, I was “the shrub among the poplars/Needing more roots/More sap to grow to sunlight/Thirsting for sunlight/A low growth among the forest.” When the book reviewer, Prof Okey Ndibe who had flown in from the United States with his personable wife, Sheri, asked me to stand up to be recognized, I disappeared! His Eminence Eze (Dr) Engr. Eberechukwu Kanu Oji, Eze Aro IX, the 9th Monarch of the Ancient Arochukwu Kingdom undertook the charge of the book presentation of Bart Nnaji - The Challenge of Facing the Future. After the event, my mischievous friends have been ribbing me with the charge of making tons of money, but I cannot get tired of telling them that the book is not an exercise in money-making whatsoever....
